Smash Champion
Yeerrrrrr! May 15th
Hey everybody, it's HEERO or Jose for those that know me on a first name basis.
Because I hardly ever get to travel to Melee tourneys, I've decided to start hosting tourneys here in my hometown. Since I'm still pretty new to the scene, this not only gives me a chance to meet more of the community, but to compete more often as well.
Like I said, I'm still fresh on the scene, so I'll definitely be accepting/expecting help from people, especially Vanz, Eggm, and Alukard.
For those coming from NY depending on Public Transportation, you can take the 190 from Port Authority into Passaic and it's $4.40.
Then from Passaic Bus Terminal, you just need to walk to the venue. Google Maps ftw.

Venue Info:
Elecxperts
55 Market St
Passaic, NJ 07055
The venue is practically twice the size of Alex Strife's Saffron City Series, so in the future when interest in this series rises we can fit more people much easier. Of course the only problem is that the venue only has LCDs, but that's where you guys come in! Bring Set-ups.
I'd like at least 8 to 10 set-ups, to make things run quickly and smoothly.
General Rules & Regulations:
EVERYONE MUST READ THESE!!!
- NO cursing in the store. I know this is hard, but please keep any kind of swearing out of your conversation. This is the stores rules, so please respect them.
- Outside food is allowed in the store, but please don't leave your trash lying around. It not only makes you look bad, but me as well.
- NO REFUNDS! Once you pay, that's it!
- B.Y.O.C. = BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLER! The store will not provide a controller for you nor will we.
- We (the store, and T.O.'s in charge) are NOT responsible for anything stolen or any items left behind. If you bring a Wii/Gamecube for us to use, you better keep an eye on it. When you bring your controller, keep it at your side at all costs. We can not be your eyes and ears, you must be responsible for your own stuff.
